If you are doing for the looks, go for it, but after owning a lifted 03 Hummer and a lifted Bronco that I wanted bigger tires on to get in and out of muddy job sites, I found it actually hindered by offroad ability because it was easier to tip over with a higher center of gravity.
1. Your performance will go down the tubes unless you change the gearing too. I did that on my '03 and found my foot to the floor doing 80 mph on the highway - don't forget to regear your speedo or rely on your GPS for speed.
2. Your mpgs are going to go down. I was getting 11 before the lift and 8 to 9 afterwards with the new speedo gear and corrected figures.
3. You will draw cops from out of the woodwork.
4. With all that said, I loved the lift and in 2005 with the lift, tires, wheels, gears and labor I had $6900 in it.
5. In the snow with the lift and big tires the performance is incredible.
6. My front wheels would constantly go out of alignment and I had to keep getting it aligned.
With all that said - it was a ball to drive with the lift, except I felt like I lost 100 horsepower with performance after the lift with 40s
